Hi there,

It’s Friday again, and you know what that means. I’ve uploaded more content into the genetic void, fully aware that SEO won’t save me and my only LinkedIn follower is... myself.

This week, though, I’m not alone.

We have a new guest writer on Gene Commons. Someone brave enough to write, format, and survive a round of my edits. A warm welcome to Pooja Manhas, who brings you a beautifully written narrative-meets-genetics piece below.

Let’s get into it:

1. The Boy Who Carried the Curse — A Personal Reflection on Apert Syndrome

https://genecommons.com/the-boy-who-carried-the-curse/
Written by guest author Pooja Manhas, this piece blends real-life experience with clinical clarity. She is exploring how myths, stigma, and medicine often collide in rare disorders like Apert syndrome.

2. Decoding DNA with RFLP and STR Markers

https://genecommons.com/decoding-dna-with-rflp-and-str-markers/
Learn how RFLP and STR-based polymorphic markers are used in genetics.

Also, in what might be the quietest launch of the year, Gene Commons now has a LinkedIn page.
It currently has one follower, who also happens to be the founder, editor, and coffee-stained content team.

If you enjoy what we’re building, or at least admire the stubbornness, share it with a friend. Or your college whatsapp group. Or that one person who still cares about inheritance patterns.
